to give back anathema its first benignity.

She that loves place, time, demarcations, hearth, kin, enclosure, site, differentiated cult, though she is but one mother of us all: one earth brings us all forth, one womb receives us all, yet to each she is other, named of some name other...

...other sons, beyond hill, over strath, or never so neighbouring by nigh field or near crannog up stream. What co-tidal line can plot if nigrin or flax-head marching their wattles be cognate or german of common totem?-------------------------------------------------------Though she inclines with attention from far fair-height outside all boundaries, beyond the known and kindly nomenclatures, where all names are one name, where all stone of demarcation dance and interchange, troia the skipping mountains, nod recognitions.As when on known-site ritual frolics keep bucolic interval at eves and divisions when they mark the inflexions of the year and conjugate with trope and turn the season's syntax, with beating feet, with wands and pentagons to spell out the Trisagion.

Where the marauder leaps the wall and the all dances to the marauder's leaping, where the plunging wolf-spear and the wolf's pierced diaphragm sing the same song...
